Hi, I have wondered for sometime, people who engage in cannabis smoking, especially if they do it quite occasionally, will smoking cannabis somehow "limit" or decrease the chances of lucid dreaming? Will it have a profound effect on dreaming or it won't really affect it?

Hi, Im a 19 year old, and all i do is smoke kush all day. I wasn't dreaming at all at first, but then I started to try harder to remember my dreams. I try to stop smoking by 8 pm and go to bed by 10. And then usually I start dreaming around four or three and on the rest of the night. Going to bed high stops you going from going into REM sleep, which is when the vivid dreaming takes place. But once you sober up halfway through the night, you go into REM rebound which actually helps you dream now.

But I think overall it affects my dreams negatively. I know if I quit smoking I'd have for more vivid and longer dreams. But I make it work because I love smoking haha.
